  1. Regarding the Sweet 16, there’s a huge difference between having a sweet 16 caliber season (not a bubble team, ranked well inside the top 25, fun to watch, and an overall level of excitement around the program, etc.) and a bubble team that with some luck and a favorable draw makes the tournament and the sweet 16. Just because we’re not the former doesn’t mean we can’t be the latter. And just because a coach makes the sweet 16 doesn’t mean he’s a sweet 16 caliber coach (by the above definition)
  2. All of this, although dairy has never been a big issue for me. I would also add that it’s pretty hard to change your diet to something like this AND calorie count. So sharpen up what you eat and then focus on how much you eat.
  3. I think it would be cool if we had a coach whose team played hard and smart even as they went through the growing pains that come with NIL/portal era roster churn. Throw in a consistent/identifiable offensive philosophy and that’d be damn near mind blowing. I’d rather not have to watch a team get blown out playing inconsistent, ugly basketball and spend the season hoping they get it together in time for a tourney run.
  4. Not quite. There’s two pieces of gambling legislation. The one the article mentions would allow online sports betting. The other that Sands/the Adelsons are pushing would allow resort style casino gambling in Texas.
  5. Both shows sold out at $105 face value tickets. Good for the gourds. Just such a damn good band. Saw them a ton back in the 90s. Read an interview with Jimmy Smith a few years ago (bassist, and vocals and songwriter with Kevin Russell) and he couldn’t get any traction post Gourds. But then I listened to some of his stuff and it makes sense that he couldn’t get any traction.
  6. Agreed. Never underestimate the ability of people to believe what they want to believe…including message board posters.
  7. That doesn’t make any sense. Reducing fan support also reduces their political capital (ie public goodwill) and a shit ass franchise has way less leverage than a good one.
  8. I highly recommend Back Mechanic by Stuart McGill. Start doing his big three exercises, which strengthen the small muscles below your erectors. Also, as he notes in the book and my Orthopedist and PT echoed, imaging only goes so far to reveal the source of back pain. Sometimes an MRI shows what looks to be a seriously messed up back but the person has no issues, pain or restriction on range of motion. Good luck and sorry about your father.
  9. He clearly knew what he was getting into, so it’s hard to call that an ambush. But it was an exceedingly bad look for aggy and was further confirmation of their little brother status. Is there any way we can get him on here to get his insights on that joke of an interview?
  10. I use Open Office. It works for the limited works processing I need it to do and it’s easy to save documents as PDFs. Be sure and save documents as .doc and not an open office file.
  11. And that’s why you’re a poster on a message board and not an AD. Do you really think CDC won’t begin the search in earnest until RT is fired? Do you think an extra 2ish months of speculation surrounding who our next coach will be will benefit us or our next coach? There’s a reason CDC kept Pierce’s firing under wraps as long as possible. I imagine the process for our next basketball coach will be similar and there’s only a few days between RT’s firing and the announcement of our new coach.
  12. Fuck that shit. I’m good with the Longhorns being the only game in town.
  13. I personally don’t rock tags on my suits. But I know that’s an aesthetic some people appreciate, so I leave them in the pockets in case someone wants to put them back on.
  14. If anyone wants a suit or two, shoot me a dm.
  15. I am cleaning out my closet and have a few suits and other dress/business casual clothes. Does anyone know of an organization similar to Dress for Success (which only does women’s clothes) to which I can donate them instead of just dropping them off at Goodwill?
  16. Would your doctor give you clearance to do strength/muscular workouts that don’t require weights? Isometrics, body weight squats, pushups against the wall, assisted pull-ups etc.
  17. And Joe Montana
  18. Anything ahead of behind schedule is ahead of schedule.
  19. Agreed. One of the strengths of the show was that it stayed within itself and didn’t go down any of those rabbit holes. There’s a lot to be said for maintaining a sense of wonder and unknown, which was one of the strengths of the OT. Conversely, the prequels were weighed down by trying to answer those questions, and the story suffered. I’ve been wanting to get with Fern’s mom since ancient times.
  20. What a great show and a perfect template for what Star Wars should lean into. Loved the pacing; it was focused and avoided the bloat and excess of some of the other Star Wars series.
  21. “Cortez” She first called out to him just as she was getting slammed to the ground.
  22. What the guy above me said…a good rule of thumb is to balance a pushing exercise with a pulling exercise.
  23. Because the shoulder is a super tight joint with a lot of muscles/ligaments involved. When someone does a shit ton of pushups or any other exercise that strengthens one of those muscles and fails to do anything to strengthen the opposing muscle, that creates an imbalance that causes impingement in the shoulder. It’ll feel like overuse, but that imbalance has pulled the ball of the joint out of alignment in the socket, thus the impingement.
